We break down Utica University Football's impressive 41-14 victory over RPI in the emotional Believe Bowl, highlighting both the pregame tributes and dominant on-field performance that has the Pioneers off to a 2-0 start.
• Quarterback Tyler Szalkowski continues his exceptional play, completing 27 of 29 passes for 385 yards and 6 touchdowns against RPI
• The defense held RPI to just 14 points, with standout performances from Eli Douglas who recorded both a forced fumble and interception
• Special teams and turnovers remain key focus areas for improvement despite the dominant victories
• Coach Faggiano previews the upcoming challenge at Hobart, emphasizing their strong home record and quality program despite their 0-2 start
• The team's unique chemistry and leadership has been shaped by seniors who experienced both 10-2/9-2 seasons and last year's 5-5 campaign
• Local freshman Austin DeGroat from Oneida has earned increased playing time on the defensive line
